The getting away from truth, from

id honorable, on the line blazed out
the Puritan advocates of the so
iled “progressive ideas of the }>res-
it generation,” is the first cause of
ie political corruption and official
limorality that characterize the poli-
of the day. New lights in reli-
ions blaze out almost every day, and
•e new religious organizations
pringing into existence almost con-
tantly. The same spirit for soine-
ling new is seen and felt in politics,
‘olitics are taking all sor*s of shinies

on*. Aa it is in religion, so it.

eavor to stand by the truth. The
anaticisin in religion is the lanati-

But for stern ana unyielding de-
otion to principle, truth would be
wept from the land; and it is a
natter of regret to sec this spirit
r disposition for change in the
Democratic wski manifested in the
fcei'si degree. This ever grasping for
imething new, for something iliffer-
nt, either in politics or religion, lias
lie tendency to upset and disorgan-
disrupt and destroy tlie rnosf
jtital principles of either,
li is by adherence to “first princi-

ured, and their libe ties preserved.
These were never ihrea ened as
king as the resolutions ot 1798 con-
itituted true Democratic faith and
tale rights were respected and en
•reed. To make these current
igaiu, and restore to the States and
liw people their rigiits is the uutv of
idlest political journalism. These
ubjects should certainly form cur
ent topics to be discussed at all
inns, especially when the rights of
ie people are threatened-.
Until these developments were
made implicating Mr. Brooks, no
man stood before the country with a
better record for honesty and in
tegrity. Such was his exemplary-
character, that when it was charged
that lie was thus implicated, that
many involuntarily exclaimed that,
if he were not honest, then, there
could be no honesi Congressmen !
Mr. Brooks is dead, and let the
mantle of charity hide the very few
faults he had. May he rest in peace

IlO*. J.VMKH BROOK.'*.
This distinguished gentleman, for
lauy years editor of the New York
veiling Express, and for several
erms member of Congress from the
th District of New York, who died
n Washington city, on Wednesday
veiling last, was born in Portland,
Ie., on the 10th of Novemoer, 1810
\fter having graduated at W aterville
ollege, in that State, he studied
aw and was admitted to the bar, but
uiopted journalism as a profession,
ind was first celebrated lor the in-
rcsting letters which he wrote as
he WWuiugton correspondent of the
’ortland (Me.) Advertiser.
After an extended tour .in Europe
ind a term in the Maine Legislature,
ie went to New York city in 1846,
ud established the Express, of which
has since been the chief editor
•ud proprietor. He was then an
irdent Henry Clay Whig, and as
uch was first elected to Congress,
rot he finally became thoroughly
deutified with the Democratic party,
nd was its recognized leader on the
loor of the House of Representat
ives. He was a member of the
TJJE JMUOOCS.
On Saturday morning, the 2Gth
iust.., a detachment of United States
soldiers, consisting of Capt. Evan
Thomas, Brevet Major, and sixty-
nine men, departed from tlie camp of
the United Stales forces on the lava
bed^, for the purpose of reconnoiter-
ing the supposed position held b
the Modocs. After a march -of four
miles, and when they were almost
directly in the supposed locality of
the Indiam, the troops were sur
prised, fifteen killed, n’neteen
wounded and nine missing—making
a total of casualties of forty-three out
of a c, minand of only sixty-nine
men, Capt. Thomas and two of his
lieutenants bein ; among the killed
The object of the n connoissance
was to find out the real situation of
the savages, but not to bring on a
fight—the iutentiou being, when
their position and locality were ascer
tained, to bring up the artillery and
shell the woods” and thus drive the
Modocs from their strongholds. But
the troops were surprised with the
results already stated.
Here we have a hand full of savag
es, numbering scarcely seventy-five
warriirs, successfully coutending
against one thousand Unit* d States
soldiers drilled in all the arts of mili
tary science, and supplied with all
the munitions of war, the best that
science and skill can devise and per
fect.
But “ the extraordinary scene of
combat,” says the New York Herald,
“ which lies inside an area of a hun
dred square miles and more of vol
canic ruins, resulting from a gigantic
upheaval of a deep rocky formation,
fractured and tumbled about in end-
less confusion, the vast field of these
laTa beds abounding in holes, chasms,
caves and underground passages, diffi
cult for a hostile force to enter and
more difficult to escape from, sur
rounded by the invisible sharp
shooter? of a cunning a ud desperate
enemy, give to this unequal fight
a terrible fascination which we find
No word of Introduction of Recorder
Hammond to the readers of Tub Sun is
necessary. If there is one man more
thoroughly discussed iu our columns
than all others, Judge Hammond is cer
tainly ibat man. It is true, he is not al-
ways mentioned by name—that is to say
—by his proper name. With as he bai-
several titles, which, if not so dig
nified, are at least os familiar in Atlanta
as the round, determined fsatured face
itself of our Recorder. “Old Ten a id
Costs,” “T&C,” “Old Vinegar Bit
ters," “Double Triggers,” are the names
reflected perhaps, from the pent-up feel
ings ol the victims of his court, through
The Son’s pen sketches of the police
conrt proceedings. If any ot our
readers suppose that theso ludicrous
court papers are published from any
want of respect for the K.-oorder’s court
the\ are Hereby corrected of a mistaken
supposition. The writer of these cour;
papers, and his associates ou The bos,
entertain the highest degree of respect
for this court. But our readers like our
Recorder’s Conrt proceedings, and they
are the ones we like most to plea.-e.
Nor is the Recorder, nor Capt. John
L. Johnson, our most excellent chiel
of Police (The Son’s “Jonseu”) damaged
by oar -iaricatures. To the contrary:
wherever The Son is read, these two
personages would be viewed with curios
ity and pleasure. ’It is in response to
often expressed wishes of subscribers
outside of the city to see “ old Ten and
Coats,” tnat the excellent engraving of
him, (by Edward H. Hyde of this c.ty,)
appears iu Ihe Son to-day.
Recorder Hammond is naturally .en
dowed with the qualities that constitute
the just Judge. In his present oflice he
is at once Judge and jury, and when he
announces himself through sifting a
case, before him, it may oe safely con
cluded that he knows about as near what
the accused have done, and the motive
tnat actaated them, as it is possible tc
find out. And the nnfor urates. be
they friends or foes, are sure to be fined,
(tfcueruily “ ten dollars and costs”) if
they have been in the wrong.
Judge Hammond is now fifty-three
yean of age. He was born iu South Car
ol.ua ; nd moved from that State to Geor
gia when eighteen years old. He com
menced at twenty the practice of the law
in Newnan—w.s appointed Judge of the
TaHapoosa Ciicuit when it was organized,
by Governor Johnson, re-appointed by
Governor Brown, and elected to the nme
office twice by the people of his circuit,
winch honor he decli ed however, though
strongly solicited by the people of his
Di-trict. In 18G2 he moved to Alanta,
where lie has ever since been actively en
gaged in the practice of law. In 1871 he
elected Mayor of Atlanta, and Re
corder in 1873.
His judicial course s Judge, Mayor
<nd Recorder has been characterized
by a fraRess, indomitable purpose,
lo suppr-ms vice and crime, by ail
available means ; shrinking from no
responsibilities, ami making no discrimi
nation between friends and foes. His
popularity is bused upon real merit. He
has the m inliness to rise auove the con
derauation of enemies and the flatteries
of friends. His course has teen crowned
with success, and has won to his support
every 1 ver ot law and order, who have
been tlie recipient of the benefits of his
inimitable administration.
Judge Hammond is also a minister of
no secondary ability, in the Methodist
Episc ipal Church, South, and as such
esteemed wherever kuowa for his devo
ted Christian qualities. His personal ap-
earanoe is ludieativj of great moral
strength and meat 1 abil'ty. Oar artist,
Mr. riyde, has succeeded in giving a
clear and life-l’kt portraiture of him.
We wish Judge Hammond a green
old a^i , and a happy finale to his useful
lite.
